**** yeah, EAD Manly

 

[Bull Shark]

Wow.. different game, different crowd, different world back then !

 

[Morkel]

Oh. I thought this thread was for me.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Dad introduced me to Rugby League when he took me to my first game which was this one, I was about 6 at the time and he was a big Wynnum Manly fan and Queensland supporter despite being born in New Zealand. He got me a Broncos jersey to wear and something about it just made me proud to wear it. I can't say I remember too much from it without seeing replays except seeing the brillance of Lewis in action.

 

[GCBRONCO]

That second try from Lewis, pure class.

 

[Scorchie]

Wonder if Manly used betting apps back then...some of those plays were wtf...

 

[Fozz]

Oh. I thought this thread was for me.

Pfft, loser.

What do you mean? I have it in full.

 

[Broncoman]

What do you mean? I have it in full.

Every time I see it somewhere it only shows the extended highlights not that full game. Even on the essentials DVD.

Oh. I thought this thread was for me.

Yeah, you're pretty "important", but not that special... :lolwhataloser:

 

[Morkel]

Yeah, you're pretty "important", but not that special... :lolwhataloser:

My mum disagrees.
